ragO TOP The Winghaiti Ativititee-Tinaes, WednesdaY, Sept. 2nd, 1.953 many factors to be taken into eonsid-
ation in the flooding problem, such as
drainage, amount of bush cleared,
weather and a best of other things,
He said 'that one of the things that
hindered the engineers in their re-
search was the fact the records of
floods are so-scanty and in many cases
non-existent.
The files of The Advance-Times af-
forded Mr, Lewis quite a bit of infer-
Mation which Was dutifidly tucked
away in' his brief case, to be added to
the common fund of information on
the subject back hi Toronto.
STUDIES FLOODS IN
AD
ILE VANCE-TIMES FS
Mr, R, ist, Lewis, of the Conservation
Branch, of the Department of Plan-1
ring and Development, Toronto, was
in town last week conducting investi-
gations into flooding conditions on
the Maitland watershed, in connection
With the Middle Valley Authority.
Mr. Lewis carried with him a list
-of flood dates on the Maitland River
over the past sixty or seventy years,
and was searching through old files of
The Advance-Times for information
en local conditions during the flood
periods. His notes from our back files

will be tarried over to provincial gov-
ernment hydraulic engineers, who will
attempt to Pieee together the informa-
tion and form a picture of flood con-
ditions in this area. Mr. Lewis was
conducting his investigation in Wing-,
hunt Listowel and other points along
the Maitland River.
The purpose of the investigations is
to get a broad general picture of the
flooding, with as much information
and figures as possible. Through the
study of this information it is 'hoped
that some sort of solution to the flood
problem can be evolved, Without case
histories nfi. floods in the area, it is
impossible for hydraulic engineers to
bring in any kind of recommendations
for a solution to the problems.
Mr. Lewis explained that there were
